2004-Q1 Alpha EV79The EV79 was originally meant to replace the earlier planned, much more ambitious, EV8 in early 2004. EV79 would have been the last update of the Alpha architecture but has now been killed off in favor of the less ambitious EV7z. Would have been made in a 130 nm SOI process with a die size of 300 mm2 and run at above 1.6 GHz .

2004 Alpha 21464 EV8Also known as Arana, EV8 or "by far the most aggressive speculative out-of-order execution superscalar RISC processor yet proposed".
